COLUMBIA, S. C.
Sunday Horning, October 9,1870.
It ia believed in London, from tho
constant passage of EngHsb and Prus?
sian couriers between their respective
capitals and the Prussian headquarters,
that an armistice is being considered.
Reports sro carrent that a suggestion ?B
being disouseed for the iucorporation of
both Mecklenburgs into Prussia, the
Grand Dukes thereof to bo compen?
sated by the coesion to them of Alsace
and Lorraine. The reputed manifesto
of Napoleon in favor of a French-Prus?
sian alliance is officially contradicted at
Berlinj and the Empress Eugenie repu?
diates any direct or indirect connection
with the London paper in which it ap?
peared, or with any other newspaper.
A Berlin telegram asserts that Marshal
Bazaine still adheres to the Emperor.
A message from Paris to an English jour?
nal states that at a meeting of tho coan
oil of ministers on the 29th ult., Favre
and Arago protested against further con?
tinuance of the war without consultation
with the people, bot that Karatry, Tro
chu and Rochefort dissented.
THE FALL ELECTIONS.-A great deal
of interest centres in the elections which
will be held this month and next, as
upon the result of these elections de?
pends the character of the forty-second
Congress. There are a number of Radi?
cals in the present House of Representa?
tives who were ol cc tod by small majori?
ties. For instance: Root,.of Arkansas,
had only 467 majority; Julian, of Indi?
ana,.116, (although defeated before the
people, he was awarded this majority by
the House;) Orth, of Indiana, 457; Hill,
of New Jersey, 78; Ketehum, of New
York, 425; Schenck, of Ohio, 245; Ste
venson, of Ohio, 497; Smith, of Ohio,
333; Winans, of Ohio, 105; Wolker, of
Ohio, 462; Bingham, of Ohio, 416; Cake,
of Pennsylvania, 225; Mercer, of Penn?
sylvania, 811; Cessna, of Pennsylvania,
54; Paine, of Wisconsin, 429. In the
twenty-first district of Pennsylvania,
Foster was elected by a majority of 41.
but the Radical House of Representa?
tives gave Covode the seat. It will be
seen that-a slight chango in opinion will
in many of these districts, and in many
others as well, where the vote was nearly
as close, change the result. The Demo?
crats are confident of carrying many of
these close districts. On the 11th of
this month elections will be held in In?
diana, Iowa, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

A military correspondent, writing from
Paris, soys: Judging from present indi?
cations I am inclined to think the Prus?
sians will walk into Puris ut thoir first
serious attack. No works constructed of
stone can stand against Krupp's cannon
at tho rango ut which tho besiegers,
owing to thoir recent advances, can placo
them.
MR. EDITOR: In the month of May,
1869, the PHCW-OC contained order? for
the rogolation of the "Sunday Batta?
lion," signed by tho Mejor Commanding,
the fifth paragraph of which, sajo:
"At evening e or vico, parade, until
further orders, is dispensed with, but
mombnrs of the organization may attend
at their u*nal rendezvous, if so disposed.
It is, however, moat earnestly requested
that no laughter, or othor noises, be
made at the ohuroh doors, so that the
preachers and hearers may not bo dis?
turbed. Reform that altogether, for the
praotice is dishonorable, and the batta?
lion most see to it that no unseemly be?
havior he allowed on any pretense what?
ever." /
This request of the Commandant
scorns to have fallen on listless ears, ns
it is meekly ignored by members of the
battalion. They assemble in front of
some of the churches of onr city, and
spend the hour of worship in smoking
cigars and in laughing and talking, to
the annoyance of the minister and
hearers. Is there no remedy? It hos,
to use the mildest term admissible, under
the circumstances, become a nuisance,
and calls for the speedy interposition of
the "Major Commanding."

FATAL ACCIDENT.-Yesterday, at about
noon, an old building in Bedon's alley,
Elliott street, owued by George S. Ca?
meron, well 'known as "Binnacle Hall,"

killing a colored man named Moses

PUBLIC MEETINO-ADDRESSES OF GEN.
BUTLER AND JCDGE BACON.-Tho an?
nouncement having been rna Jo on our
bulletin boord, yesterday, that General
Butler would address tho citizens last
evening, the Court House wo9 crowded
at un early hour with a mont intelligent
and earnest crowd. Upon motion of
Maj. Seiblew, Col. Thomas was called to
presido over tho meeting. After some
prolimiuary remarks, tho chairman in?
troduced, as tho first speaker, Judge
Bacon, the caudidate of the Reform party
for Congress from this Congressional
District. Judgo Bacon spoke with force
and eloquence, and made a number of
striking points.
Next, General Butler was announced.
Ho was received with great applause
Geuerai Butler proceeded to repeat his
charges against Governor Scott, and to
accompany them with distinct specifla
tions. He repeated and re-affirmed them
all, aud io connection with his charge
that Governor Scott had made certain
pledges on tho evo of the last Presiden?
tial election, with regard to tho colored
members of the Legislature, &c, Gene?
ral Butler read n letter from General
Hampton, which produced a profound
sensation. General Hampton fully con?
firmed tho charge that had been made
in connection with his interview with
Governor Scott.
At this late hour, we have time only
to add that General Buller literally ex?
coriated Governor Scott und other State
celebrities, and made a powerful and
telling speech, closing with an eloquent
appeal to ull good citizens to mako a
grand effort to redeem and restore the
State. General Butler was urged to
leave the Court House, and speak in the
open air, but he found it more conve?
nient to remain where ho could refer to
the documentary evidence with which
he fortified his assertions.
The gns having boen probably tam?
pered with, the audience was ut one
time thrown into darkness, but order
was preserved, and the lights were re-es?
tablished with candles, and in spite of
this and the noise of the outsiders, the
occasion was carried to a brilliant close.
